Sid Ashford<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Max 93 \u201cMenthol\u201d<\/p>\n

“I’m a sucker for silhouettes from the ’90s, and this Air Max 93 in the “Menthol” makeup is ill.”
\n<\/p>\n

Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n

Nike KD VII Crimson\/Volt-Grey<\/p>\n

“The Nike KD VII is looking great to me. A low-top hoop shoe with elements of Foamposite and a midfoot strap? I’ll take two, thank you. Truth be told, I didn’t care for playing in the KD VI, and I still don’t. The KD VII appears to have addressed my biggest issues with the VI, swapping in Zoom for Air Max in the heel and upgrading the tongue and toe box with a material that appears to have more flex than that of its predecessor. These look like a go on and off the court, and this colorway is fuego.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mike Faucheux<\/h2>\n

Kevin Durants Custom fragment x KD VI Elite<\/p>\n

“I’m a HUGE fan of custom kicks! This silo alone, even without the graphic on top, is too dope for its own good.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Howenstine<\/h2>\n

12am Run’s Air Jordan 6 “Celebration” Pack<\/p>\n

“I’ve had Air Jordans, I’ve had tables at Vegas clubs, and neither are worth $33,000. But shoutout to Nas and 12am Run for giving people a buzz!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zaul Zamora<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke King of NY<\/p>\n

“I’ve heard just about every insult in the book since I’m a Yankees fan living in Texas! All I say is, “Count the Championships!” These Air Force 1s pay homage to New York\u2019s King Derek Jeter with a full grey cashmere upper, a velvet grey sock liner, and a full ice midsole on top of a navy outsole. A great shoe to celebrate a legend.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Josh Barcenas<\/h2>\n

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Black\/Ivory<\/p>\n

“Black Matter for the win!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brittany Shelton<\/h2>\n

Nike Free Mercurial Superfly HTM<\/p>\n

“A soccer-inspired HTM sneaker for everyday wear? Thank you Mark, Tinker and Hiroshi.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Allison Halfhill<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vans CA Sk8-Hi Zip “Varsity Stripe Pack”<\/p>\n

“Super clean. Love the super subtle red accents on the back zipper and tongue.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jasmine Majors<\/h2>\n

ASICS Women\u2019s Gel Lyte III \u201cSnowflake\u201d<\/p>\n

“So icy, entertainment.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peter Sim<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 3 Black\/Sport Blue<\/p>\n

“The Black\/Cement is in my top 3 of all time, so the “Sport Blue” colorway is a perfect lifestyle translation. I have yet to see a good image of this purported translucent outsole, but from the images that have surfaced, I like what I see. Don’t let me see y’all out there with one Black\/Cement 3 on one foot, and a Black\/Sport Blue 3 on the other!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mike Parsley<\/h2>\n

adidas ZX Flux “Aqua”<\/p>\n

“I was always a big fan of the “Aqua” ZX 8000, and while sometimes classic colorways on updated models just doesn’t work, this color scheme looks great on the ZX Flux. I’m glad to see that adidas will be dropping these with a wider availability.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Karlton Johnson<\/h2>\n

Nike KD VI “What The KD”<\/p>\n

“I don’t own a single pair of KD VIs thus far. With this weekend’s release of the “What The KD”, I soon will own every KD released to date! See what I did there? “Logical Yet Economical Sneaker 101″, brought to you by Karlton Johnson.”
\n<\/p>\n

Nolan Nevels<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Tech Challenge II “Kumquat”<\/p>\n

“This colorway of Andre Agassi’s ATC II? Game. Set. Match.”
\n<\/p>\n

George Kiel III<\/h2>\n

adidas Crazy 2 Grey\/White<\/p>\n

“I’m glad adidas decided to bring these back. I first saw the retro on Iman Shumpert’s feet towards the end of the season in this colorway, and it immediately caught my eye.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
